Excellent writing Terry. I envisioned the whole scene, smelled the sea, the Orca, and heard the shouts of determination and subsequent joy. I look forward to seeing more SStory's.

A True short story
by Terry in____a true story___.
shortly after the incident, i drove back along the pacific coast in a euphoric daze of confusion, tears, and exhilaration; there was no place for it to go inside my head.
i pulled over on the shoulder of the road and sat in stunned silence.

UBER-WITNESS: THE ELITE FORCE . . . a study in how a fanatic is created
by Terry inat what point in the average person's life does he/she reach a crossroads between purposeful pursuit of a life's goal and mad fanaticism?.
we have all known these automatons; these uber-witnesses.. we might even have been one ourselves!.
the uber-witness can make an excuse for any watchtower mistake at the crack of a whip!.

What an excellent post Terry. I always enjoy your writing but this particular article got my attention big time.
Though I was an elder and PO, I never considered myself uber only because I knew that often times I was shoveling shit of some sort or other. (Just wouldn't admit it)
Ive been recently asked why I kept doing it. I'm not really sure if it was peer pressure, stubbornness or sheer stupidity. It took some time even after the blinders were removed to fully admit to myself and others that it was all a pile of shit and even after being out for 7 years my spirituallity has and is still tainted. I have a hard time believing in anything.

What the writer of Revelation intended by his cryptic 666 mark of the beast reference.
by Island Man init's amazing how simple the answer is and yet the watchtower organization seems completely oblivious to it.
revelation itself tells you what the number is: "a man's number", "the number of his name".
the writer of revelation spells it out and yet they don't see it!
